Title of Collection: Annual 

Performance Report for Gaining Early

Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) 

Program. 

OMB Control Number: 1840–0777. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved ICR.

Abstract: Gaining Early Awareness 

and Readiness for Undergraduate 

Programs (GEAR UP), created in the 

Higher Education Act Amendments of 

1998 (title IV, section 404A–404H), is a 

discretionary grant program which 

encourages applicants to provide 

support and maintain a commitment to 

eligible low-income students, including 

students with disabilities, to assist the 

students in obtaining a secondary 

school diploma and preparing for and 

succeeding in postsecondary education. 

GEAR UP provides grants to states and 

partnerships to provide services at highpoverty middle and high schools. GEAR 

UP grantees serve an entire cohort of 

students beginning no later than the 

seventh grade and follow them through 

graduation and, optionally, the first year 

of college. 

The Annual Performance Report 

(APR) for Partnership and State Projects 

for GEAR UP is a required report that 

grant recipients must submit annually. 

The purpose of this information 

collection is for accountability. The data 

is used to report on progress in meeting 

the performance objectives of GEAR UP, 

program implementation, and student 

outcomes. The data collected includes 

budget data on Federal funds and match 

contributions, demographic data, and 

data regarding services provided to 

students. 

This submission requests to revise the 

APR in several places. New questions 

were added regarding the grant’s 

scholarship component and student 

postsecondary participation outcomes, 

and changes were made to questions 

about project financial status, 

participant demographics, and project 

services.

the proposed information collection 

request (ICR) that is described below.

Title of Collection: Connecting Adults 

to Success: Career Navigator Training 

Study (CATS Study). 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0973. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 30,823. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,340. 

Abstract: The Institute of Education 

Sciences within the U.S. Department of 

Education requests clearance for a 

revision to the Connecting Adults to 

Success: Evaluation of Career Navigator 

Training (1850–0973, approved on July 

18, 2022). This demonstration study 

examines the impact of training for 

career navigators—local adult education 

provider staff who provide services to 

address the challenges that learners face 

navigating the transition to the 

workforce and to further education and 

training. The study compares the 

education and employment outcomes of 

learners enrolled in adult education 

sites whose career navigators are 

assigned by lottery to receive the study’s 

training (the treatment group) with the 

outcomes of learners enrolled in the 

business-as-usual sites who are assigned 

by lottery to receive the study’s training 

after the study period (the comparison 

group). Approximately 64 adult 

education sites nationally are 

participating in the study. Impacts on 

learners’ education and employment 

outcomes will be examined after 18 and 

30 months. The revision is for the 

purpose of shifting one component of 

the approved data collection plan— 

frequent adult education career 

navigator-completed logs—to add a 

single follow-up survey to ensure the 

study can still examine whether the 

training leads to changes in these 

practices. The survey is now needed 

because of concerns about low response 

rates and data quality from early rounds 

of those logs.
